The High Speed AVE now links Málaga and Valencia bypassing Madrid

The AVE, the Spanish high speed train now runs non-stop from Málaga to Valencia without having to change in Madrid.

A new 7 kilometer link around the capital has just been opened and ensures a direct route that saves an hour on the previous journey via Madrid, and which now takes just 4 hours and 35 minutes. This is good for travellers between the Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca.

Apart from the AVE travelling to both Cordoba and Sevilla, on route to Madrid, there also exists a direct connection already in service to Barcelona.
